my advance search plugin didn’t appears properly in the front end, especially if I put a dropdown plugin, it will not show a correct or in a precision position

Hi there! It sounds like you are dealing with a CSS positioning conflict, which is very common when search plugins try to ‘force’ a dropdown layout over an existing theme. When a dropdown doesn’t align correctly or appears in a ‘non-precise’ position, it’s usually because your theme’s container has a property like overflow: hidden or position: relative that is clipping the plugin’s output. Because search plugins often use ‘absolute positioning’ to make the dropdown float over other content, any slight styling difference in your theme can push that dropdown several pixels off to the side or bury it behind other elements.To fix this, the first thing you should check is the z-index and alignment settings within the plugin’s own configuration menu. Many advanced search plugins have a ‘Custom CSS’ or ‘Styles’ tab where you can manually adjust the ‘Dropdown Offset.’ If that doesn’t work, you can often solve it by adding a small piece of CSS to your site (under Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS) to force the dropdown to behave. A common fix is to target the dropdown class and set position: absolute !important; and z-index: 9999 !important; to ensure it stays on top of everything else and snaps to the correct spot.Another possibility is that your theme is ‘fighting’ the plugin for control over the dropdown’s width. If the dropdown looks too narrow or is jumping to the next line, try setting the plugin’s container width to 100% or a fixed pixel value that matches your search bar. If you are comfortable sharing the name of the specific plugin you are using, I can give you the exact CSS code needed to snap that dropdown into a precise position!

Hi james3265166, i am using plugin Elementor Essensial Addon and I am using the Advance search Widget. could you help me with the CSS code for this?
it would be helpful for me -
To style the Advanced Search Widget from Essential Addons for Elementor, you can add custom CSS to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS to control the search bar’s width, border radius, and button color. For example, if you want a modern, rounded search bar with a custom color for the search icon, you can use .ea-advanced-search-wrapper .ea-advanced-search-inline { border-radius: 50px; overflow: hidden; } to round the edges, and .ea-advanced-search-wrapper .ea-advanced-search-button { background-color: #333 !important; color: #fff !important; } to change the button’s background. If you need to fix the input text padding or change the border color on focus, adding .ea-advanced-search-wrapper input[type=”search”] { padding: 15px; border: 2px solid #ddd; } will give it a cleaner look while ensuring the text doesn’t touch the edges of the box.

To fix the vertical gray rectangle, you likely need to disable a phantom sidebar or placeholder area that your theme is rendering while in “Coming Soon” mode. You can typically resolve this by navigating to Appearance > Customize > Layout (or Sidebar) and selecting a “Full Width” or “No Sidebar” setting to force the main content to fill the screen. If the issue persists in the editor but looks different on other devices, go to Elementor > Tools and click Regenerate CSS, then switch your CSS print method to “Internal Embedding” under the Elementor Advanced settings tab to ensure your styles are loading correctly across all browsers. For your Essential Addons search widget specifically, if the search bar is missing or broken on other devices, check your Elementor > System Info to ensure your memory limit is at least 512M, as resource-heavy addons often fail to load on mobile when server resources are capped.
